But Wait! There’s More
• It’s not just about the data• How are your users going to work on that
data?
• 20% of my time is spent on “My Apps”• 80% of my time is spent on Corporate Apps

Let’s Look at a Day in the Life of Ann…
Data Center
Cerner
This is Ann, our life-saving registered nurse
08:00 – 09:00 Ann starts her morning routine at the nurses’ station.
• She launches EHR from her local desktop
• She closes out notes from the previous shift
• She launches email• She accesses her
online schedule for the week
09:00 – 11:00
• Ann dashes to the ER and accesses her Workstation-on-Wheels• She’s able to login fast. Very fast.• She’s immediately productive with a consistent user experience• She launches a virtual desktop containing the EHR application• She enjoys Dynamic Print and Device Redirection
Suddenly,Roy and Johnny
burst into Rampart with a
criticalER patient!
And by 9:04 Ann is Ready to Save a Life
11:00 – 12:15The critical emergency is now happily resolved…• Ann follows her patient to the recovery ward• Ann uses her tablet to launch a VDI session• Consistency and control are her keys to
happiness• Along with Roy & Johnny, who are now back
at Station 51
12:15 – 13:00• But wait! Ann gets hungry. She decides to
change out of her scrubs and grab a snack. As she leaves the patient ward, her workspace dynamically adjusts to her location.• When she changes Wi-Fi access spots,
the EHR app is dynamically restricted• Access to sensitive patient data is now
securely revoked• But her Facebook account is now
allowed
Thanks IT!
How Do You Solve this Epidemic?

VDI is slow
VDI is not working
VDI freezes often
Users care about the “service”
The CPU usage ofthe VMware servers
is ok.
The DNS servers areresponding well to
queries.
IT operations teams focus on infrastructure silos
This disconnect is a threat to the success of transformational IT initiatives & the promise of agility, scalability, and cost savings!

It is important to have the right metrics
Look for domain expertise in VDI, collect the right metrics.Otherwise, it will be a case of “Garbage in, Garbage out”!
Preemptive Detection & Alerting
Preemptive detection & alerting lets administrators see and fix problems before users notice
Auto-Baseline Key Metrics• Auto-compute time-of-day baselines• Alert administrators when metrics violate baselines

Preemptive Detection & Alerting
The domain server goes down, pulling down the VDI service. Why? Event history provides a clue …
A Preemptive Alerting ExampleReal-World Scenario
The domain server has failed and rebooted.
5 hours earlier, a pro-active alert about
memory leak!

Preemptive Detection & Alerting
Monitor Users, Not Just VMs
• Workload of the VM is user-dependent• When a user complains, need to know which
physical server and VM they are on • Need to know who the top users are for
capacity planning• User information required for billing, capacity
planning
Poor user experience impacts VDI success. So focus on monitoring users, not just VMs!
